Meryl Streep's impassioned take-down of Donald Trump at the Golden Globes inspired two other stars to try and take down each other.

TV host Billy Eichner and Fox analyst Megan McCain waged a heated war of words Sunday after Streep devoted the bulk of her acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award to lambasting the soon-to-be American president.

The furious feud began when McCain — the daughter of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain — took to Twitter to slam Streep's politically charged address.

"This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won," McCain wrote. "And if people in Hollywood don't start recognizing why and how — you will help him get re-elected."

This clearly struck a nerve with the "Billy on the Street" host. He responded to McCain by referencing a portion of Streep's speech condemning Trump for making fun of a disabled New York Times reporter, an action Trump has denied doing multiple times.

He fired off a series of tweets in a row at McCain, once again making matters personal.

"I rather live in a bubble than live with people who don't feel a need to respect the disabled, freedom of speech & the arts!!" he began. "Love being told I live in a bubble by the daughter of a millionaire politician who sometimes guest co-hosts Hoda and Kathie Lee."

That was it for Sunday night, but McCain seemed to revisit the fuming altercation on Monday afternoon, writing, "'Never get in a wrestling match with a pig because you both get dirty and the pig likes it.' Done talking Hollywood and d-list comedians."

Streep's speech about Trump stole the show at the otherwise nondescript Golden Globes. In her lengthy message, the film icon managed to touch on a topic that host Jimmy Fallon failed to truly address aside from a few forgettable jokes.

"Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick us all out, you'll have nothing to watch except for football and mixed martial arts, which are not arts," she told the audience.
